Due to budgetary concerns, facility availability/flexibility, and other unforeseen circumstances, the Western Connecticut State University Music Department must cancel the 2015 WCSU Summer Music Camp, scheduled for July 19 – 25. This decision was not made without careful consideration of its impact on campers, parents, counselors, conductors, and staff. Many of you have entrusted your children to our care for years, and we thank you for believing in us. We hope we will have the occasion to serve you again soon.

We are in the process of reviewing previous interactions with the community, assessing the viability of summer offerings, and formulating ways to provide the region with music performance and education programs that are distinctive, innovative, and affordable. All monies deposited with the current program will be returned, and no new registrations for summer 2015 will be taken.

While we are as disappointed as you likely are about this turn of events, we are excited about the opportunity to create new, unique, and inventive musical experiences for our old friends and new neighbors. We look forward to the opportunity of sharing news of these innovative musical experiences with you in the near future.
